Quaffles, bludgers and the elusive golden snitch - it has been nearly 20 years since Quidditch moved from the pages of Harry Potter to real-life playing fields.

Rowling's Quidditch is portrayed as a dangerous game, where players frequently endure high-speed collisions and aggressive tactics.

Perhaps the best-known element of the game is the golden snitch, famously very nearly swallowed by Harry Potter during his first-ever Quidditch match.

In 2022, the decision was made to rename Quidditch to Quadball, in part because of JK Rowling's comments on gender identity but also due to trademark issues.

It is hard to blame these fans for wanting to swap the mundanity of everyday life for a world where potion classes and Quidditch matches reign supreme.
